Transcription: Jan. 25th '95. James W. Allison Esq. Richmond. Va. Dear Sir, We are today in receipt of letter from Stowe & Nuckols to the effect that they are unable to make estimates on the work in Library and on the inside blinds of that room and Dining Rm. without having a personal explanation of the whole question. While we think there is no excuse for this delaying this matter as they have done, it nevertheless seems necessary that Mr. Randall should come on in order that the work may be resumed. He can be in Richmond on the 30th or 31st of this month or on the 11th or 12th of February, as you prefer. Please let us know your preference as soon as possible. Your's truly. Griffin & Randall.
